X-Bomber 0.84

A fast vertical-scrolling space shooter

By Mike Williams | 08 Sep 2015

X-Bomber is a fast and free vertical-scrolling space shooter game based on the Japanese sci-fi TV series, Star Fleet.

This isn't just another basic arcade clone where you'll be bored after 5 minutes. There are 17 missions, several ships with assorted weapons, a host of enemies with decent AI, dynamic in-game dialogue, plenty of space and planetary environments, appealing graphics and a professional soundtrack which can optionally be replaced with your own MP3s.

If this is all a little much then you could tweak the difficulty level, or maybe get help from a friend by using the 2-player mode.

There's a lot to explore and initially it can seem a little overwhelming. But there's a tutorial mission to walk you through the basics, while an online help page gives you some background on the storyline and characters.
